1986 Toyota Van Reviews - Page 3 of 3

Well I have had a few thing go wrong with the van. first, I have had to put brakes on it 6 times, second the tires and the shocks have gone out, third the dash lights such as the oil light, brake light, and radiator light go on and off, fourth when it rains the van likes to stall out, and both back doors have broken.

I love this van it is great on corners and it has very good acceleration off the line. the only bad thing I have got to say about my van is that it isn't very good in the snow and in the rain it tends to slide or slip up hills.

It has had a starting problem since I bought it. I have replaced the battery and starter. I have a new ignition on the way.

The driver's side window regulator is broken so the window only goes up part of the way.

It needs new tires and shocks.

The engine purrs softly, but could probably use a tune-up.

This van was previously stolen so the rear seats and all the paneling in the back is missing. I hope to build a camper setup someday, but for now it is a cargo machine.

Despite the slow-shifting automatic transmission, I have no problem passing V8 powered SUVs on the freeway.

Once I fix the few little mechanical glitches this van has, I have no doubt it will take me many places in comfort.
